10 habits of happy couples you should follow

Making a relationship work is definitely no easy task. Especially after the initial butterflies and excitement fades, the real work of maintaining that spark kicks in. And since no relationship is a one-way street, here are some habits that all couples must adopt to ensure long-term happiness.

Cuddling together is great for both of you and is something you two must definitely incorporate in your pre-sleep at night and post-sleep routine in the morning. Five minutes of cuddles and snuggles can go a long way in helping the relationship.

While Facebook and Instagram do a pretty good job of fueling our endorphins, nothing feels as good as switching off and sharing a moment with your SO and is something all couples should do every day.

Don’t wait for a birthday or anniversary to surprise your boo. Even something as small as bringing him breakfast in bed can tell the other person how much you care. And after all, who doesn’t love surprises?

The next time your SO and you meet friends or family together, don’t shy away from telling them good things about your man or things he’s done to make you proud. He may get slightly uncomfortable with the attention, but he's definitely jumping with joy on the inside.

Fights are the trademark of every relationship but a good rule to follow is to never go to bed angry with your SO. No matter what the argument is about, sort it out or reach a middle ground instead of carrying the fight into a new day.

Sharing is caring right? So, why should only one of you do the chores? Cooking, cleaning, fixing light bulbs, whatever the chore, divide and conquer is an effective strategy for all couples and does away with resentment or frustration of always being the only one dealing with those tasks.

Being comfortable with your partner is great but sometimes, comfort can easily give way to taking someone for granted. Keep reminding your partner about how much you love him or how thankful you are for him.

Being stuck at the hip is not the healthiest thing ever, which is why you must include some girls’ night out with your squad just to get some healthy space from your SO.

All couples fight but the smart ones know how to fight fair. So, drop the blame game and sit down and have a conversation with your partner instead of resorting to confrontation.

No matter how big or small an achievement is, you two should be each other’s biggest cheerleaders and push the other to always give their best.
